K&H Pet Products Thermal-Bowl Stainless Steel Dog & Cat Bowl, 102-oz

My outdoor cats spend the night in the garage. Their water always freezes up in a regular bowl. This bowl keeps the water at a comfortable warm temp. They drink more from this bowl than they drink from a cold bowl.

The entire purpose of these is to keep water from freezing. I thought one was broken so I used my second dish (same brand, size, etc.) Both bowls froze and remained frozen until I brought them inside.

I have two of these K&H thermal bowls, one I bought a few years ago and one this year because the other one works so well. They are wonderful! No more frozen water. If you're thinking about buying one or more of these bowls, don't hesitate. I bought others before from different companies for less money, but they barely made it through 1 or 2 winters and were made of plastic. These are a much higher quality and easier to keep clean.

I bought this bowl because my Sheltie loves being outside and I thought instead of going in and out of the house a bunch of times he'd like a drink outside. I was surprised how big this bowl is. It's really for a German Sheppard or other large dog. I could have purchased the smaller one but this one is real nice. Plus in winter it will keep the water from freezing and its easy to clean.

This is a great looking bowl. It is huge, so our hound shouldn't be able to empty it so fast. I would probably give it 5 stars EXCEPT it took 30 frustrating minutes to remove the label from the side. After peeling two layers of paper and plastic, tiny piece by tiny piece, I was left with sticky adhesive that was even harder to remove. First I used goof-off. Then I tried automobile wax, tar, and adhesive remover. Didn't even touch it. Next I used pure acetone. That finally worked.

I live in the country & have several feeders in the backyard. In addition to birds, we have have squirrels, turkey, & (occasionally) deer pass through. I use these heated pet bowls to provide water during the winter when the ponds are frozen. They work great & makes me happy that I can provide for the critters during sub-zero weather.

I have used K&H Stainless Thermal Water Bowls every winter for about 8 years. One of the bowls is always placed near the edge of an eave. When snow slides off the roof sometimes the bowl is buried 2 ft deep. It makes no difference. Within a few hours the bowl melts the snow piled on it and the feral cats and other wild animals find the warmed water. Our temps drop to minus 20 degrees F and the bowls work just fine. None of the bowls has ever failed.

I previously had a plastic heated bowl and my dogs would chew on it to the point of making themselves bleed and leaving the broken off peices trashed in the yard. The stainlesss steel bowl passed the test of their chewing and still looks great with zero damage. We live above 8,500 feet elevation so our winters are cold and snowy. My malamutes never had frozen water once, even in single digit temperatures and over a foot of snow. This bowl solved all my problems. Only thing I wish was for it to be bigger. I have to XL dogs that share their water. Otherwise it’s the best water bowl I’ve ever had for where I live and the type of dogs I have.

I love this bowl. Wish I had purchased it many years ago! I am in the Northeast and the temperature delined to single digits for consecutive days. The water never froze. I feed the birds year-round and it saddened me to see them struggling to drink water from their frozen birdbath. So this solved the problem. If you do the same, place some stones in the bowl that they may use as stepping stones. FYI, Chewy had this at the lowest price point!

I got two of these one for my dog and one for the cats outside. They never froze this winter, which is a major plus. They always had fresh water and food, and a heat lamp in there house.
